Cloth diapers are an increasingly popular, eco friendly alternative to disposable diapers. Fuzzi Buns, Bummis and Kushies represent just a few of the many retailers that can provide cloth diapers and reusable swim diapers for parents who want to combine cute baby fashion with environmentally friendly savviness.
Fuzzi Bunz
Fuzzi Bunz cloth diapers were awarded the 2010 Stevie Awards for Women in Business for Best New Product and Most Innovative Company. Fuzzi Bunz offers a rainbow of 15 different colors of cloth diapers to choose from in either the Fuzzi Bunz Perfect Size Diapers or the Fuzzi Bunz One Size Diaper.
Both are available with adjustable snaps so no baby pins are needed for securing, but the One Size Diaper includes a replaceable elastic that can size up when the baby grows, eliminating the need for many different sized cloth diapers.
Bummis Cloth Diapering
Bummis Diapers provides a number of products specifically for parents that want to use cloth diapers for their infants. The Bummis offers everything separately, or you can purchase the Bummis Organic Cotton Diaper Kit which includes everything you will need for cloth diapering. The kits are available in infant and baby sizes and include Organic Cotton Prefold diapers, Super Whisper Wraps, Super Brites, Bio-Soft liners, fleece liners, the Fabulous Wet Bag and a User Guide.
The organic cotton prefold inserts are made of 100% certified organic cotton twill which can fit inside of a Super Whisper Wrap, available in various prints from Jungle to Celery Dot or inside one of the Super Brites which are also available in prints and colors like blue, pink and pistachio polka dot.
Also available with Bummis is the Swimmi, which is similar to reusable swim diapers or a cloth swim diaper and can be used as baby’s swimsuit. The Swimmi is an interior polyester mesh with a coated nylon outer layer that does not require a diaper or anything else to be inserted inside. The Swimmi is also available in various colorful prints.
Kushies
The Kushies Ultra Washable Diapers include the All in One form fitted diaper which is also available in fashionable prints and colors and consists of 5 layers of 100% cotton flannel and a middle soaker for increased absorbency. The exterior is waterproof so no cover is required and the diaper is fastened with a hook and closure system.
Kushies also offers a full line of clothing and cloth diapering accessories and products as well as reusable swim diapers. The swim diapers are available in a number of different sizes, colors and designs, all with an adjustable waist with ties to insure fit. The Kushies Unisex Swimsuit Diaper is the bottom part but they also offer the Girl’s Swimsuit Diaper which is a full swimsuit with the reusable swim diaper included in the suit.
There are many fun alternatives to the cloth diaper of the old days, many of which are easier to use, wash and reuse. They are not only simpler to use, but far friendlier to the environment and in the end a lot cheaper than years of disposable diapers.
